So uh, Hyperion seems rather a lot larger than it used to. On the plus side that means the neutron star at its heart is able to be maintained with a great deal more stability, which means I can start using Hyperion more frequently now - if I'd had it as an option previously, I would as soon have lasered Shao Khan from orbit instead of spending YEARS fighting that sonofabitch.

Oh look here's something to test Hyperion on while I work on revising its entire armament to be appropriate to its scale. The Conspiracy can root out the Magicians on the ground, while I take Hyperion for a spin and visit Stant, and see how many FTL-propelled antimatter Planet Busters it takes to turn the entire solar system into one giant asteroid belt because fuuuuuck ALL that noise.

(Not nearly half as many Planet Busters as I expected, incidentally. Popping them off a half dozen at a time in a planetary core shatters it as well as any Exterminatus would, with less resources needed. Popping eighteen in the right pattern throughout the mantle will result in the planet cracking and being flung to pieces. Ain't nothing living in that system now.)

...Also, why am I two feet taller now? That's... that's a thing.
